As for first steps to hacking into your computer, Phil, I suggest reading lots of internet protocol and networking books and manuals. This is assuming you want a broad knowledge. If you only want to know how to 'hack into' your one computer, we'd need some more info like operating systems, network protocol information, et cetera et cetera.

Ok, my apologies Fusion and with what you suggest, i agree when reading books on networking, Protocols, Topologies, Frame structure etc gives you a better understanding of how networks work, therefor you will be better off, after all knowing the ins and outs helps you "get in" but not always, just if you want to learn some hacking it would be first best to know how networks work.

Yep agreed
You'll need to know about networking for sure and the common protocols and how to actually get access
Most of this is not done with a GUI but rather command line function so its good to have prior knowledge about MS-DOS (command prompt)
